The first image of the Brit comic book adaptation of Judge Dredd has hit the net thanks to Scottish artist Jock who twittered the photo earlier today.
The image shows Karl Urban as the title character in the British made film DREDD. The film is directed by Pete Travis of VANTAGE POINT and written by superstar scriptwriter Alex Garland, 28 DAYS LATER, SUNSHINE, and many more.
Below is the synopsis and still, thanks to /film and Bleeding Cool respectively.
DREDD takes us to the wild streets of Mega City One, the lone oasis of quasi-civilization on Cursed Earth. Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) is the most feared of elite Street Judges, with the power to enforce the law, sentence offenders and execute them on the spot – if necessary. The endlessly inventive mind of writer Alex Garland and the frenetic vision of director Peter Travis bring DREDD to life as a futuristic neo-noir action film that returns the celebrated character to the dark, visceral incarnation from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra’s revered comic strip.
